His Dangerous Love

Chapter 15 Confront Her in Person

Chapter 15 Confront Her in Person

Something unexpected happened.

As they opened the covers, Elianna was fast asleep.

After being awakened by the noise, she sat up, puzzled. "Mom, Clare, why are you here?"

Elianna was wearing pajamas and looked as if she had just woken up. However, she was still wearing her pants under the covers and hadn't even taken off her shoes.

Clare paused for a moment, then smiled again. "No worries. You felt uncomfortable when you left and I just wanted to check on you."

"Hmph, you sure sleep well." Joyce was about to tease Elianna but suddenly remembered something. "Where's Asher?"

"Mom, you called me?" Asher appeared, looking guilty. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Clare looked at Elianna and Asher, jokingly saying, "Asher, where did you come from? How did you leave Anna alone?"

"Huh? I... I just went to see, I went to see Kenley."

Seeing Asher's incoherent appearance, Joyce couldn't help feeling suspicious.

It was late at night, and he went to Kenley's room...

"Kenley wasn't feeling well, so I asked Asher to go and check on her."

Elianna interjected, breaking the deadlock.

Amid Asher's surprise, he quickly followed Elianna's lead. "Yes, Kenley couldn't find her medicine, so I went to help look for it."

To divert attention, he added, "Elianna was supposed to come with me, but she was too tired, so I let her rest."

Clare pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed. "It's just my bad timing. Seeing that Anna is fine puts my mind at ease."

At this moment, Clare's gentle and harmless appearance was just like when Elianna first met her.

But after experiencing everything, when Elianna looked at Clare's face again, she found it repulsive.

The storm ended silently.

After Clare left, Joyce unexpectedly didn't confront her but called Asher away.

Elianna finally relaxed her tense back and sighed with relief.

She felt a sense of fear, realizing that if she hadn't noticed Clare and ran upstairs before she entered the Plum Compound, who knows what trouble would have arisen.

Although she didn't know why Clare suddenly appeared, at least she managed to fool her.

Thanks to Asher's cooperation.

Elianna looked at the slightly open door. Joyce suddenly calling Asher away might mean that she had some suspicions.

People are interesting. They don't believe you when you speak, but they can't help but suspect once they are gone.

Just like now.

"Asher, what's going on between you and Kenley?"

Asher uncomfortably scratched his neck. "What's going on? Kenley is my cousin; if she's not feeling well, I have to check on her."

He pretended to be impatient. "Mom, you do not believe in Elianna, who attempts to sow discord, are you? She's jealous of Kenley. Do you believe her instead of us?"

Joyce would frown whenever Elianna's name was mentioned, naturally believing Asher.

"I thought she came from the Gentry family and would understand some manners, but it seems that she's uncultured. I'll talk to Mrs. Gentry tomorrow and ask her to teach her some manners."

Asher should have agreed, but thinking about how Elianna defended him just now meant she had accepted his relationship with Kenley.

So, unusually, he spoke up for Elianna.

"Forget it. The Gibson family's banquet is in two days. Let's wait until after the banquet to discuss it."

Mentioning the Gibson family shifted Joyce's attention, and her tone became resentful. "If I had known that Alicia was interested in an Elfold alliance, I would never have let you engage with the Gentry family."
